inch of rain for most of the north bay. some of the hills, close to three inches of rain. we've seen some pretty pictures. look at that rainbow. san jose, we had some showers moving off to the east. sunlight giving us that rare glimpse, looking off to the east a bit earlier this evening. a few rain bows after the outright rain we saw earlier this morning. notice this compact area of low pressure offshore, holding its position. it is allowing itself to gather up the clouds and some of this moisture will spill toward the coast. heading toward tomorrow which will reintroduce more showers in the forecast. still, we're seeing a little bit of rain around morgan hills, south of san jose, the foothill seeing some showers. thing have kind of dried out. toward the east bay, same story toward the north bay for now. that area of low pressure is going to slowly wobble toward the coast. so tomorrow, we should see more sunshine. that cold air aloft on top of that june sunshine, warming things up below.

eastern solano and contra costa counties. showers linger into monday. then finally, wednesday and thursday we'll warm up. 70s in the forecast for the middle part of the week. >> any break in the weather? we're heading to the greek festival. what's a good time? >> off and on showers. the morning doesn't look that bad but probably mid afternoon, we'll see a few of those showers firing up.
